Synopsis
Awareness and understanding of Celiac disease and gluten-intolerance has increased dramatically in recent years, and diagnosis rates have skyrocketed. Though it's often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all, Celiac disease is estimated to affect nearly 3,000,000 Americans alone. As the only existing treatment is a 100% gluten-free diet, the interest in cookbooks has also increased dramatically. Often when people are first diagnosed, they feel it's a culinary death sentence -- no more bread, pizza, pasta, cookies, and other foods they love. Add to that, the gluten-free products sold in markets and health food stores can often be disappointing in flavor and limited in variety. That's where this book comes in. After suffering for years and being diagnosed with Celiac disease herself, author Vanessa Maltin has sought out the best-tasting recipes from around the world without sacrificing flavor. She's become one of the country's leading experts on gluten-free living, but to create this collection of recipes, she consulted with top chefs from around the country. The cookbook is split up into sections for Asian, Italian, and Mexican cuisines -- everybody's favorites. The results are 125 recipes so good, you'll never miss the gluten, and if you've got a whole family to feed, you can cook from this book for the whole family, and nobody will feel deprived.
Synopsis
Thrilling recipes from around the world that prove you can give up the gluten without giving up the flavor
For sufferers of celiac disease, the necessary diet limitations can seem like a culinary curse. With the right information and a great cookbook, you can still eat most of the foods you love while maintaining a healthy, well-balanced diet.

Living gluten-free isn't as tough as you think-corn tortillas are a simple substitute for flour in Latin cooking, gluten-free flours are perfect for great tasting pizzas and calzones, and rice noodles and gluten-free soy sauce make Asian food perfectly safe and delicious.

When doctors diagnosed Silvana Nardoneand#8217;s son with intolerances to gluten and dairy, she embarked on a quest to develop dishes for the toughest critics of all: her kids. To do so, she drew on her experience as a professional baker and her work in magazine test kitchens. She deciphered labels and tested obsessively. The result: dishes that taste exactly like their supermarket, bakery, and take-out counterparts, from Cinnamon-Swirl Pancakes to Crispy Chicken Taquitos to Baked Ham-and-Cheese Manicotti. Every mom on the block will want the recipes for her high-rising, light sandwich loaf, deep-dish pizza, and chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream sandwiches.
Silvana shares every last secret she has learned over the years from her formulations of gluten-free all-purpose flour; pancake, waffle, and biscuit mix; homemade and rich-tasting nondairy substitutes for milk, yogurt, and ricotta; and other essentials that are key to making the best food possible.
